Servings: 24
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 stick Butter, softened
- 3/4 cup Brown sugar
- 1/2 cup Sugar
- 1 large Egg, plus 1 egg yolk
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1 1/2 cup All purpose flour
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp Baking soda
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 1/2 tsp Ground cinnamon
- 1 1/2 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cup Old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
- 1 cup Nuts, chopped (I've used either walnuts or pecans)
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a stand mixer, mix butter on medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add in the sugars and mix well for 2 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl if necessary.
- Add the egg and egg yolk and beat well.
- Beat in the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and dark cocoa (or use regular cocoa if you prefer) together.
- Slowly add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix until just combined.
- Stir in the chocolate chips, oats, coconut and nuts.
- Scoop out the cookie dough (I used a small melon ball) and place on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Or use parchment paper.
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until edges are lightly browned. Keep a close watch on them as not to overcook. They will continue to cook on the cookie sheet as they cool. Remove and store in a sealed container on the counter-top.
- Recipe makes 48 small to medium sized cookies.
